Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.

Start team fights by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down Hunted targets.

Bushwhack traps deal damage based on their victim's current Health. Set them up in your team's backline before fights break out during sieges to help your team deal damage to the enemy frontline.

Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.

Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.

Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.

Working cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Nidalee and Orianna together, you may not be granting your other teammates a great deal of cover. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Orianna ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
